Confidential

Draft Registration Statement

Securities and Exchange Commission

100 F Street, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Sir/Madam:

On behalf of LIZHI INC. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting the Company’s draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States by the Company of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing the Company’s ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share. Subject to market conditions and the review of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Company currently expects to file a preliminary prospectus containing the estimated offering size and a price range in October 2019. The Company confirms that its securities have not been previously sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the procedures of the Commission for emerging growth companies, the enclosed draft Registration Statement is being submitted to the Staff in draft form and on a confidential basis. The Company confirms to the Staff that it will publicly file the draft registration statement previously submitted on a confidential basis at least 15 days prior to any road show in connection with the proposed offering. A registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs will be filed with the Commission in due course.

If you have any questions regarding this submission, please contact Li He at +852 2533-3306 (li.he@davispolk.com) or Kevin Zhang at +852 2533-3384 (kevin.zhang@davispolk.com).

Thanks for your time and attention.
